Clos>Up Of Th Nw Min GrMnvilU

As xpiotGd. th0 legislativft haarlng on proposed daylight saving time brought conflicting viewj. from various groups in tha state, but for the most part those appearing at the hearing appeared in favor of North Carolina moving up the clock one hour during the three summer months.

For several sessions now the legislature has considered a daylight saving plan for, j^e state, and so far in each session the result has bin rejiction of the proposals. This year, it seems to us, the legisla-ture should move positively and give the plan a try

for a two-year period. . ^ i , i.

Predict Court Reform Bumps

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES <X)URT8 - Legislative vet-^rans Including Its authors are predicting bumps ahead for the meticulously - drawn court reforms bill Introduced In both House and Senate this week.

On the other hand, legisla^ tors agree almost unanimously that the proposals contained In the biU wUl be the basis for legislation to begin bnple-plement 1 n g a cOTStltutlonal amendment approved by the people In 1962.

"We dont pretend that Its perfect, says State Sen. Lindsay Warren Jr., of Wayne, chairman of the legislative Courts Commission which drew up the bill. "We dont expect It to be enacted overnight. Warrens commission spent many months preparing this long - awaited court reforma plan and additional weeks paving the way for its legislative debut. And its members real-lae that more work Uea ahead In committee rooms and on the floor of the Cteneral Assembly.

"We want It to be considered very carefully and fully understood, Warren says. "We know It wlU be.

STUDf - Courts commission members and others expect that there will be suggestion! for several changes In the court reforms timetable and attempts to amend the bill.

They expect sharp Inquiry as to details and possibly strenous objection to s<nne o< the features.

At the same time, the courts commission feels that its step-by-step "building block plan Is about the best that could be devised for gradual implementing of the 1962 constitution a 1 mandate.

"Nobody knows how much hard work has been done on this, says Rep. David Britt of Robeson, a courts commission member.

"We. were given a Job to do, and we knew from the start that it wouldnt please everybody. It has been a very d-ficult thing.

METHODIC - Insiders be-lleve, however, that the painstaking work and methodic preparation of the courts commission will pay off in saving of time and removing of roadblocks to enactment.

"It still isnt going to be easy, says one veteran legislative observer. There are going to be objections and opposition to this part or that. It has a long way to go yet.

park state Parks director Thomas C. (Red) Ellis is hopeful that the first public recreation facilities at Duke Power State Park on Lake Norman can be opened by June 1.

This will be a swimming area Impounded by a constant level dam. A bathhouse, refreshment stand and service facilities are being constructed and Ellis says provisions for rou"h camping may be made later In the teason.

The 1.328-tcre park, the newest 0 North Carolinas 14 state parks, is located on a fingeiiof land extending into the huge man-made lake in southefei Iredell County. The lake itself reaches Into parts of Cattwba. Lincoln. Mecklenburg and Iredell counties.

This park was badly needed. Ellis says. "We believe it will be one of the most heavily used in the parks system.

BLUE Some eyebrow raislni resulted in Raleigh from an editorial by the Shelby Dally Star calling for the appointment of newspaper publisher H. Clifton Blue t Aberdeen aa chairman of the State Highway COmxnlsalon.

Political sources said this was the first mention of Blue as a poesible candidate for the high - level, $17,700-a-year appointment which Gov. Dan K. Moore will make after June 80. Blue, a veteran legislator and Speaker of the House in 1903, was an unsuccessful candidate for lieutenant governor last year.

What added to speculation about the editorial is the fact that the Shelby Daily Star 5UW)orted Moore in the 1964 gubernatorial campaign.

Meanwhile, the Burlington-Alamance County Chamber of Commerce has endorsed former House Speaker Joseph M. Hunt Jr. of Greensboro for the highway chalnnanshlp. Hunt has figured In moat t the Raleigh speculation fw the post and Is considered to have the Inside track for It.

ona hour for thi monfhi of June, July hud Ahgttit, This would be a shorter period of dayught saving time than is observed in most states each year, but it should be adequate for a trial period in North

Carolina. _ . . .

In the 81 etatee of the nation In which day-light saving programs are in effect, there appear to have been no serioua disruptions of business, transportation, government operations, farming, or the routine of average eitixens. On the contrary, in those sUtes in which daylight saving tme ie observed, the vest majority of citiaena appear to give it their wholehearted approval. The aame situation is likely to be true in North Carolina if daylight saving ie given a reasohable trial.

If the present bill before the General Asaembly is adopted, daylight saving time would be in effect during the summer months in North Carolina for 1965 and 1966. Before the summer of 1967 the legislature will be in session again and can give further consideration to continuing the program thereafter. The two-year period would provide an adequate trial for daylight saving in North Carolina, and a period in which citizens of the state may evaluate it from first-hand experience.

We think it will be a positive step for North Carolina to adopt the daylight saving time bill now before it, and we urge the legislators to give it favorable consideration during this session.

Two Major Questions Remain On Controls

Two major questions still hang over the proposed acreage-poundage control program for tobacco now moving through congressional channels. There is the question of time if the program is to be effective for the 1965 crop, and then there is the question of its acceptance by tobacco producers if it clears Congress.

At the moment, time is the key factor.

The House Agriculture Committee has given its endorsement to the bill that came before It, and it is expected that the measure will go to the floor of the House next week. In the Senate, however, where the measure got an earlier start, an agriculture subcommittee has held hearings on the matter, but has not yet taken action on the bill. Unless the bill can be ^ven priority in the Senate as apparently it is being given in the House, action on it may come too late to be of value for the 1965* crop year.

Assuming the measure does receive approval in both houses of Congress, it then must be submitted to a referendum of growers, as presently written, the measure will require two-thirds approval by tobacco producers to become effective.

Unless Congress acta quickly to submit the matter to tobacco producers, it will be of no value for the 1965 crop year. By mid-April the first of the 1965 tobacco crop will be going into the fields. nless farmers know by that time whether their production this year will be controlled under the present acreage allotment program, or the proposed acreage-poundage program, it will be difficult if not impossible for them to make necessary adjustments.

It is essential that Congress give its final decision on the proposed program within the next couple of weeks.

The Pins Didnt Match

They wanted a gift for their boyfriends?

Nope. They thought they might make good earrings. Seems the girls, participating in the latest rage, bad pierced their ears.

"These look better than the regular earrings, one told Uie clerk.

Anyway they ^didnt buy. Seems they couldnt find two to match.

Other Editors Saying.. Giving Second Chance

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP) Alabamas segregationist governor, George Wallace, did It again.

Twice, confronted with civil rights problems, he went to extremes, once with President Kennedy and now with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Both times he brought nar tional embarrassment on his state.

He tried defiance with Kennedy. R was an empty gesture. He couldnt win, and he didnt. He tried defiance again with King who planned a march of 4^ Negroes from Selma to Montg(nery, 50 miles, as a civil rights demonstration.

The purpose, when they reached Montgomery, was to petitkm Wallace to remove obstacles to the Negroes right to vote in Alabama.

The end product of Wallaces defiance was a disgraceful. brutal police action the chasing and beating of the Negroes ^whlch shocked the nation.

^ Yet, if Wallace had used a little shrewdness, the march might have aceompltobed Ut-tle.

KingH non-violent expedition was to be a gesture tb enlist national sympathy and attention.

The police action couldnt have won the Negroea more sympathy and attention if King had planned it. He says he never expected what happened.

When he was sworn in as governor in 1963, Wallace pledged segregation forever. He

knew be couldnt make good on It.

That would have meant defying the (edefal-govemment and courts. K he could get away with it, anyone could, and the result would be chaos.

Nevertheless, when federal courts ordered the University of Alabama desegregated, he put on a "standing in the schoolhouse door act.

This was supposed to be defiance of the court. Kennedy called the Alabama National Guard Into federal service and Wallace melted away.

Wallace had two cholc e s when King announced the Selma Montgomery Journey.

He could have permitted it, and even helped it, or he could smash it with police swinging nightsticks. He chose police and clubs. About 40 Negroes were hurt.

Fifty miles add up to a long march, not to be done In h day. Before it started Wallace could have figured; ^

Long before the Negro men and women reached Montgomery theirranks would have been thinned by drop - outs.

And he could have deprived the irarchers of drama by sending along police, not to smash the march but to guide traffic along the highway and protect Negroes fr(n segregationist attacks.

King was supposed to lead the march but stayed In Atlanta. an act which must puzzle Negroea. particularly those who expected to see him up front

But he said he would lead a (Continued On Page 8)

East Carolina College in its summer school this year will give many June high school graduates a second chance for showing they are college material. The second chance win be given without lowering the standards or the cut-off test scores now generally required for college admission.

There may be other coUeg-es which have something of a similar system. If so we commend them as we now commend East Carolina for its "second chance project.

Here is how it works. A student w'ho has scored well but not well enough In entrance tests Is granted conditional admission to the summer school. If he passes two basic courses with a satisfactory grade and shows a seriousness of purpose and a determination to enter college, he is formally certified for entrance at the Pall quarter.

The test formula to the best one the educators have been able to come up with for making mass determination of who shall be admitted to coll e ge. Many institutions are so flooded with applications that a high percent of those wishing . to register cannot be accepted.

East Carolina College, for Instance, estimates that on the basis of applications already In that the total admission next September will be about 6,000 for the freshmaa class.

Best experts have estiinmed that for the state as a whole

In September 11,000 young pco-pic who wish to register and enter college must be turned away for lack of dormitory space.

It should be emphasized, however, that there are^many standard colleges, both ^junior and senior, which have not had full complements of students who have facilities to absorb a considerable percentage of those who cannot be accommodated in the more popular Institutions. Many a student, actually, would be better off and do better work and with better personal results if he selected a college with a smaller enrollment. In such surroundings his chances for finding himself, for not feeling "lost, for close contacts and friendships with students and the faculty and for more supervision are superior in the small school.

Dont misunderstand. East Carolina Is not a small school. It had 8,000 on campus last year. It has raised standards with the increase In enrollment. The faculty, under appropriations from the Legislature. has been strengthen e d and numerically Increased.

But East Carolina recognises that many a boy or girl does not do well on the requlr e d tests. The operation second chance for the Summer Session seeks to save for the student and for the state those who prove they are qualified for college work.

We worried a little about his health, but our thoughts soon turned to'the beauties who followed in open convertibles.

As the parade broke up we turned to leave. Who should be standing at the curb but President Bill Brewer.

He swears that he thought the parade had been called off because of the weather. We know better. Riding in the lead car you Just cant see the lovely contestants.

Jerry Ball of CTharlotte, one of the beauty cwitests judges wowed 'em during an intermission with his antics at the piano.

They rolled an upright piano on the stage for him and as he played, the thing kept rolling away from him. His final number was a rousing rendition of "Sweet Georgia Brown.

On this one the piano just gradually drifted away until on the final note it was entirely out of reach. It brought the house down.

Ball Is noted In C3iarlotte for playing the piano suspended upside down for a fund drive. He' has also played the piano seven feet underground for a g o o d cause. The curious could peer through a periscope to fee him at work.

General Power did manage to apeak out hi generalities before Ckingress at one point when he attacked the "Magi-not Line thinking that threatened to put all our eggs In tha single' basket labeled' "m i a-siles. The Atlas, the Titan, and the Minuteman missiles, he said, might be rendered ham> less by a eneak attack, presumably by super-hydrogen bombs that would shatter tha controls of American missiles in their* so-called hardened sites.

General, he was probably fuHy acquainted with even the JMgt detafled substance Iff tBrtjintita 0 w e r book. But he coi^d not. of courM, make any convine 1 n g campaJgn'^ufe" 'of^lnside knowledge.

Now that he has been? im-gagged by retirement and placed beyond suspicion of campaign poUUca. General Power to free to voice his worries in considerable fullness. His book is already circulating in Con-xreiBioaal anterooms, although it wont officially be out until next week. It will certainly be picked up by critics of McNa^ maras policies such as Republican Representative Laird of Wisconsin, a member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee of the House.

What specifically bothers Power is the loss of flexibility that must result if the present phasing-out of our bombing planes coatinues. Within ten years all our 'B-47s will have been retired; /' the remalnin g B-52S will be obsolete, and, as General Power puts it, "the limited number of B-58s in SACS inventoiT would be obsolescent at best." Thus, every day that a final decision for bomber replacement is postponed, the prospective "bomber gap of the late Nineteen Sixties and early Nineteen Seventies is widened.

What frightens General Power are several possibilities. One is that by the Seventies the Soviets may have come up with methods of tracking down our Polaris submarines even when they lie deep In the sea far away from Russia. Another is that the Soviets may be on the verge of developing an effective anti-missile" missile.

One aspect of the case for maintaining a mixed force of bombers, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and Polaris submarines is that by forcing the Soviets to spread their defense (Continued On Page 8)

By EARL L. DOUOLAM MYSTERY ABOUT US We have five physical senses (sight, hearing, touch, imell, and the capacity to taste). With these we have to apprehend all the r(&ality there to round about us. The world we appreh end constitutes for us what we call physical matter.

But is thto the only reality in the vast universe? B would appear, would it not. that there may be other forms of reality as real or in fact more real thaa the physical reality with which we come in contact through our senses.

DESPERATE MEASURES

One great-grandmother finally accepted the job. but she called back an hour atcr and said her husband insisted she

quit. If she posed it would make him seem old. she said.

So Blankfort hired a 23-year-old model, bought her a gray wig for $298, and staged hto pubUcity picture.
